Whats up everyone!

been lurking on PH for a while and figured its time to actually say hi lol

quick background, I've spent the last 15 years in enterprise tech (CPaaS, messaging APIs, all that fun stuff). always had the itch to build my own things tho. about 6 months ago i taught myself to vibe code and honestly haven't looked back. I'm still learning something new every single day.

Hi makers I m Hanif.

I ve been on Product Hunt for years, but this is actually my first time posting. I never launched anything before, I was so busy with work, always telling myself someday I ll build my own product. I feel like this year is the time.

I ve followed indie hackers for a long time, and people like @marclou really pushed me to just give it a shot and ship. I like the build fast, fail fast, build for myself first mindset and see if it s useful for others.

Right now I m planning my first launch, but honestly I m still figuring things out. I ve tried some cold outreach (no body reply yet ), watched a bunch of YouTube videos, and still feel a bit lost, especially on how to get visibility before launch.

Hi Everyone,
I've just shipped my very first solo-developed projects coming from a history as a designer, photo director, and dancer. While I'd heard about Product Hunt before...I sort of forgot about it until 30 minutes ago.
I built my web app just concerned about the 'get it working' part and leaving the 'how will I get users' for another day. That day has come. I'm very curious to get to know other makers/founders, especially those who have gone the journey solo. And from the veteran community members What do you most recommend for someone getting their feet wet in Product Hunt. What are the big differences between being a maker and a hunter versus being a maker looking for a hunter? Is one way more ideal than the other?
Looking forward to connecting and pouring over the community posts for advice. I feel like I'm punching above my weight and all the support is greatly appreciated.
My app: loric.ai and Image and Video Generation Toolkit with all the top models and workflows to help creators move from short format slop to long-format cinematic productions. #makeyourownmovies
Many thanks and love to you all!

I m building OptiSchema Slim: a local-first, open-source AI tool for PostgreSQL performance. I made it because my Postgres tuning workflow kept being reactive and messy, you notice slowness late, stare at EXPLAIN, guess an index, apply it, and only then find out if it helped. I wanted something that stays private (no data egress), but still gives practical guidance.

It includes a Health Doctor scan (bloat, unused indexes, slow/high-impact queries), plus what-if index testing before you touch schema.

I m doing this completely solo (and with basically $0 budget), so I m nervous about launch day.

Question for the folks who ve launched before:
If you could go back to your very first PH launch, what s the one thing you d do differently?

I m a software engineer and product builder. And here is my story.

In 2022, I co-founded a design agency with a friend we launched it on Product Hunt as Seterx. That was my first real exposure to building and shipping publicly.

Hi Product Hunt

I m Mohammad Jayed, founder & CEO at Biz IT BD, based in Bangladesh.

Building this has been everything and nothing like we expected: late nights tweaking features, debating tiny UX details, juggling messages from our early testers, and keeping the bigger vision in view.

Kwore started because content creation is messy. Marketers and creators switch between tools, guessing what will work, spending hours on tasks that could be simple. We wanted to make it effortless: create, assess, plan, post, and analyze all in one place, with your brand voice always at the center.

Launching isn t just about showing a product. It s about seeing years of ideas, mistakes, and late-night aha moments come together. It s about a team that believed in something uncertain. Huge shoutout to our co-founders @alaeddine_bouattour , @e_laura, @adriano_battistoni and Malek hannouf for driving this vision every step of the way and to @ahmed_trabelsi1, our brilliant engineer, for turning ideas into reality.

Tomorrow, we share that with the world.
Excited, nervous, proud.. all at once.

Hi everyone, great to be back here to launch something I can call my own :)

Today my first launch is going live: BRRGR - an Untappd for burgers. Tracking, rating and discovering the best burgers in your city, country or the world.

I am still quite new to launching here, so support is more than welcome.

Hi, I'm Olamide Agusto. Emotional Brand and Social Media Strategist.

And starting today, I'm building in public.

I'm going to share my frameworks, my thinking, my case studies, and the messy middle of building a career around one belief:

Brands that win are brands that feel.
